Christmas Farce is returning to the London stage this winter; bigger, better and more ludicrous than ever before.

The comedy debuted at the Rosemary Branch Theatre for a sell-out four-show run in 2015, and now will play for three weeks at the Waterloo East Theatre – from November 28 to December 17.

Set backstage at a regional theatre, Christmas Farce joins a hapless cast of egotistical actors on the opening night of a modern retelling of the Nativity.

As personalities clash and various tensions come to a head, the company have to pull together to stop the production on-stage becoming a nationwide laughing stock and leaving all of their careers in tatters.

The play received acclaim upon its debut, with ★★★★★ from LondonTheatre1 and ★★★★ from Ginger Wig & Strolling Man.

Now, much of the original cast returns, with four new faces joining the line-up.
